The White House is posting AI-altered photos of members of Congress made to look like they're crying. No disclosure it's fake. Half a million views

I'm convinced that either (a) Big Balls' old frat buddies are in change of the WH social media account, or (b) it's a Boomer who asked ChatGPT "how do I create a meme that sounds like I'm up on today's online slang" (spits out cAp AnD lOwEr CaSe LeTtErS and "holmes").

Some guy is going to die because of this raid and they're making memes about the shit: bsky.app/profile/reic...

Awful news: during the raid on the cannabis farm on Thursday, one worker fell 30 feet from a rooftop as he was fleeing immigration officers and was critically injured and is apparently not expected to survive. abc7.com/post/man-lif...

"holmes"? Is that some sort of lame attempt to be hip to the jive? Did you mean "homes", numbnuts? And all commercially grown produce is product. No shit, Sherlock. These fucking people...

It sucks but we have to accept it and fight accordingly: If someone is stupid, malevolent, cowardly, or deluded enough to remain a registered Republican, then they are stupid, malevolent, cowardly, or deluded enough to believe this.

Sick assholes. Responsible adults warn about AI making truth inseparable from fiction. The government of the United States is not warning about it, but rather exploiting it against it's own citizens. Disgusting.

Oh yeah, the rank and file of MAGA hates marijuana. Oh wait, no they don't, they smoke it. There was a pricey campaign to convince young men that Trump loves the ganja. Every time MAGA elites come out against weed, I laugh and laugh.

Haha I love that I’m so old that I’m explaining “Holmes” was also slang in the 1970s and early 80s. In the original Vacation movie Chevy Chase greets a Black man by saying, “Excuse me, Holmes? What it is, bro?”

Yes, the farm is legal. "Glass House Farms, the largest cannabis cultivation business in the area. Border Patrol said it served a warrant on the farm because it was accused of hiring undocumented workers" WHO DID THE MORONS ARREST? Workers? Or owners?

An official post from the White House. Normal Americans would be aghast if the UK or Denmark did this. Look up trash in the dictionary and there will be pages dedicated to defining these people.

Your issue is with an AI pic instead of a member of Congress falsely claiming it was a strawberry farm when it was a pot farm that ICE rescued 10 trafficked children from forced labor. That’s what you have a problem with?

Dictators and authoritarian governments do this to demean the opposition to weaken their credibility and strengthen their political position. This is not for jest, it’s pure propaganda for Republicans and those Democrats who lean right.

As always we all know Trump and his administration are utter shots. It’s the complete acquiescence of every Republican in Congress and the entire Republican Party that shames us. Family values brought brought to you by the Roy’s on Succession.

They so desperately need to believe that we’re just over here being mad when really their “jokes” so hack and boring that few of us pay attention because we’re too busy focusing on combatting the cruelty of their actual policy.

It’s a celebration of the GOPs success in using dark psychological manipulative tactics to brainwash and motivate enough vulnerable and ill informed people to actually vote for them. Their challenge now is to ensure they stay in power at all costs. That’s the truly scary bit.

Of course that’s part of it. Knowingly posting made up shit on social media is a core activity for everybody in MAGA land. But it isn’t just one thing: It’s trolling, it’s bonding, it’s a “dominance display”, it’s propaganda.

This is enraging on so many levels. Normalizing AI altered images and disrespecting democratically elected officials in addition to the utterly shameful and shameless dehumanization of farm workers and immigrants.

The DNC & individual Democratic Senators & Representatives should do the same thing. Post all kinds of digitally altered photos of Trump, cabinet members, and GOP politicians. Have fun with it. Hit back 10x harder, like Trump does. Sto doing the genteel politician thing against monsters.

Is this the OFFICIAL social media outlet for The White House? That bastion of democracy? That symbol of how superior the West is vs the rest of the world? Just checking for a friend.
